In this episode of The Dream Architect Life, Brian Sweet sits down with Scott Danner, a longtime industry friend, author, coach, and Executive Vice President, Head of Legacy, at Steward Partners, for a real conversation about dreaming bigger, staying grounded, and building a life you actually want to live. Scott shares how growing up without “extras” shaped his drive, how he moved from building a financial advisory practice to building a multi-state enterprise, and why the real win is designing a life aligned with your values. Along the way, he breaks down his LIFE model (Love, Impact, Faith, Energy), the “cheat code” habits he leans on daily, and why action is often the fastest way through fear. The conversation also touches on legacy, fatherhood, perspective, and a simple but powerful question: what would you regret not doing if time ran out sooner than you expected? Scott discusses: How thinking big starts with confidence, then grows into serving others The LIFE model (Love, Impact, Faith, Energy) and how it shapes decisions Why action and momentum can break the grip of fear Daily practices that keep him steady when routines get disrupted Books that shaped his perspective, including Think and Grow Rich, Man's Search for Meaning, and Inner Excellence And more Resources: Man's Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl Inner Excellence, Jim Murphy Connect With Scott Danner: scottdanner.com Podcast: The High Performance Life Podcast LinkedIn: Scott Danner Connect With Sweet Financial Partners: 1 (507) 235-5587 meetingwithsweet.com Sweet Financial LinkedIn: Bryan Sweet Facebook: Sweet Financial Partners Get our book, “Dream Architecture,” here About Our Guest: Scott Danner is the Executive Vice President, Head of Legacy, at Steward Partners.

Episode 381 reframes Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for sales professionals, reviewing Chapters 1–3 to show how thought, desire, and faith create predictable sales results. Andrea Samadi connects these timeless principles to practical steps—how to set burning goals, build unwavering belief through repetition, and transfer certainty to buyers. Listeners will get actionable frameworks (a five-step belief plan and the six steps to impress desire) and a clear roadmap for aligning mindset with sales execution, plus a preview of the next episode continuing the series. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 381, we are connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i], where we covered the well-known book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, to make 2022 our best year ever. Today we will cover: ✔ Chapter 1: The Power of Thought: A 5 STEP Plan to Improve Sales (Outer World) by Improving Your Thoughts (Inner World) ✔ Chapter 2: Desire With a 6 STEP Plan to Achieve ANY Goal ✔ Chapter 3: Faith With 3 Ways to Build Unwavering Faith That Will Change Your Life Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched 2022. Over a 6-part podcast series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. This series will always be special for me, as I had heard that my mentor, who inspired me to study this book, Bob Proctor, became ill while I was writing the last episode in the series PART 6. He passed away before it was released, and I'll always remember this episode series, connected to the many people, globally, that he inspired through his work. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with your life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. In order for me to have gained this understanding, I have to give credit, where credit is due here. I would not have been able to cover our 2022 series without following Paul Martinelli's yearly reviews[ii] of this timeless Think and Grow Rich book that I started to follow in 2019, and continued every year until 2025 when he covered popular Science of Getting Rich book. It was through Paul's explanations, and line by line interpretations, that I finally began to not only READ this book, (from start to finish) but started to INTEGRATE the concepts into my life. I highly encourage following his work, as he continues to host many free webinars, where he gives away knowledge, with no pressure at all to purchase anything from him. I know why he does these webinars. It's not only to help others, but something magical happens when you give back to others, without expecting anything in return. When we covered this 6 PART series, back in 2022, TEACHING these concepts, it took me to another level of understanding, where I realized that this book is not meant to be read just once, but read over and over again, every year, as we all work on whatever it is we are working on, or want to master. This is a living, breathing body of knowledge and is there for all of us, year after year, as we refine our own inner mastery, and move step by step closer to our goals. Albert Einstein explained this concept well when he said that “if you can't explain it to a six-year-old you don't understand it yourself” and this is because teaching something will clearly show you where you have gaps in your own understanding. I'll never forget when I got to PART 6 of the book review, I noticed my book had no notes after around chapter 13. I began studying this book in my late 20s, and was very interested in the subconscious mind (chapter 12) but not at all interested in the brain (chapter 13) at this time, so I actually stopped reading the book here. I knew I never did finished reading this book (until I had to teach it) which explains a lot when it comes to the commitment to complete something. In order to teach something, we must first of all understand it ourselves. But when we LIVE it, and EMBODY what we are teaching (like Paul Martinelli has done) and what I am striving to do, it takes the words in each chapter to greater heights. So with gratitude to Paul Martinelli, who has created a valuable Sales Training Program, based on this timeless book, here is my attempt at covering Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich book, for the Sales Professional, and I couldn't have produced this episode, without Paul's teachings. Let's now look at the first 10 important chapters from Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of making our 2026 our Best Year ever, as well as to connect each principal for the salesperson. And you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens Chapter I: The Power of Thought Applied to Sales Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Core Idea: Sales performance is a reflection of expectation and belief first, not effort alone. What you think and believe about your ability, your product, and your outcome directly determines how you show up—and how others respond to you. Sales Applications Your internal dialogue sets your sales ceiling “Hoping” for results programs hesitation and inconsistency Expectation + emotion = outcome Listener Takeaway You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe you can achieve. You get the sale you expect. The one you actually believe you can achieve. REVIEW OF CHAPTER I — “The Power of Thought” Edwin C. Barnes: The Man Who Thought Himself into Partnership with Thomas Edison In Chapter I of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill introduces us to Edwin C. Barnes, a man who achieved something extraordinary—not through money, connections, or credentials—but through the power of his thought. Barnes held a single, unwavering vision: to work with Thomas Edison—not for him, but with him. This was an audacious goal. Barnes did not know Edison personally. He lacked money, influence, and even the funds to comfortably pay for the train fare to New Jersey. Yet none of these obstacles altered his decision. Hill explains that Barnes did not wish for this partnership. He decided it would happen. When Edison later recalled their first meeting, he described Barnes standing before him looking like an ordinary tramp—but said there was something unmistakable in the expression of his face: “There was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come after.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Edison did not see wealth, polish, or preparation. He saw initiative, faith, and the will to win—and that was enough. Barnes brought no money to the table. No résumé. No formal value proposition. But he carried something far more powerful: a clear vision, unwavering belief, and a level of certainty that Edison could feel. Hill later writes that Barnes' “bulldog determination” and persistence with a single desire was destined to mow down all opposition and bring him the opportunity he sought. Barnes did not retreat when months passed and nothing happened. He did not say, “What's the use?” He did not downgrade his goal to something more “reasonable.” He held the vision until reality caught up with it. Why This Matters for Sales To understand why Edison trusted Barnes, we must understand something critical: Thought carries frequency. Belief has energy. Certainty is felt long before it is spoken. Edison did not evaluate Barnes based on where he was. He responded to where Barnes knew he was going. Barnes was already operating on the frequency of partnership—not employment. And Edison recognized it. “When one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.” (Chapter I, p. 3, TAGR) Barnes was ready. Putting Chapter I into Action for Sales Look at the image in the show notes illustrating levels of frequency of thought—where the physical, intellectual, and spiritual worlds intersect like the colors of a rainbow. Think of each level as a different radio station. To hear the station you want, you must tune your mind to that frequency. If you receive your 2026 sales goal and your immediate thought is: “There's no way I can do this,” then that is the frequency you are broadcasting. You are not tuned to the level where that goal exists. You cannot reach a destination using the same level of thinking that created your current results. This is why Marshall Goldsmith's principle holds true: What got you here won't get you there.[iii] The Key to Chapter I: Unwavering Belief Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “When a person really desires a thing so deeply that they are willing to stake their entire future on a single turn of the wheel to get it, they are sure to win.” (Chapter I, p. 2, TAGR) Barnes staked his future on belief. Sales excellence requires the same commitment. A 5-Step Sales Application Framework to Apply Chapter 1 STEP 1 When your sales goal is set, ask yourself honestly: Do I believe I can achieve this? STEP 2 If belief is present, create a clear, actionable plan—and commit to following it consistently. STEP 3 If belief is not present, seek out someone who has already achieved the result. Borrow their certainty. Follow their guidance exactly. STEP 4 Once belief is established, take daily action. There is no wishing—only disciplined effort backed by belief. STEP 5 Monitor not just results, but your level of belief. When belief wavers, behavior follows suit. When behavior wavers, results disappear. Final Thought for Chapter 1 Edwin C. Barnes did not succeed because he was lucky. He succeeded because he thought differently—and held that thought long enough for reality to align with it. He jumped to an entirely new frequency with this belief. Sales mastery begins the same way. Not with tactics. Not with scripts. But with the Power of Thought Backed by Belief. Chapter II: Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results Core Idea: Desire must be emotionally charged and specific. Sales Application: Turning vague quotas into emotional targets Why clarity eliminates hesitation Selling with intention vs need Listener Takeaway: Vague goals create vague results.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER II: DESIRE — The Starting Point of All Achievement Chapter II of Think and Grow Rich brings us to the engine behind every meaningful result: Desire. Napoleon Hill makes this unmistakably clear: “All achievement begins with an idea.” But not every idea becomes reality. Only ideas fueled by burning desire become reality. Hill describes Edwin C. Barnes' desire as something very specific: “It was not a hope. It was not a wish. It was a pulsating desire which transcended everything else. It was definite.” (Chapter II, p. 19, TAGR) Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He did not wish it might happen someday. He expected it. At the time, there was no evidence this partnership would ever exist. Barnes and Edison were not in conversation. There were no guarantees. No proof. No visible path. And yet Barnes committed to the idea anyway. That's the nature of true desire: It moves before evidence appears. Going from where you are now to where you want to go is always a process—and at the beginning of that process, desire often feels irrational, private, even uncomfortable to say out loud. That doesn't make it wrong. It makes it powerful. Why This Matters for Sales In sales, desire drives behavior. You don't need to know how you'll hit your goal at the beginning. You only need to know what you want and why you want it. The “how” always reveals itself after this commitment. This is something my mentor Bob Proctor emphasized constantly. When I moved from Canada to the United States in 2001, I had no clear roadmap. I didn't know exactly how it would work. But I had clarity of desire—and that was enough to begin. The way was shown… Along with obstacles. Many of them. That's always how it works. Obstacles are not signs you're off track. They are part of the process. Desire and Sales Frequency What does DESIRE have to do with SALES SUCCESS? Here's the key sales translation: Hesitation does not exist at the same frequency as certainty. It's this certainty (or burning desire) that we will need. When desire is weak: You hesitate You soften your language You sell with need instead of intention When desire is strong: Clarity replaces doubt Energy becomes steady Certainty becomes transferable to those you are speaking to Ask yourself honestly: Do I have the same burning desire in my sales goals that Edison saw in Barnes' eyes? Because others can feel it—just as easily as they can feel when it's missing. Desire radiates. Hesitation leaks. And buyers will respond accordingly. Burning the Ships Hill offers one of the most powerful principles in the book in this chapter on Desire: “Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn their ships and cut all sources of retreat.”(Chapter II, p. 21, TAGR) Barnes did this when he traveled to New Jersey to meet Edison. I did this when I left Toronto for the United States in 2001. There was no “going back if it didn't work.” Burning the ships forces alignment. And this connects directly to a later chapter: Decision. The Latin root of the word decision means “to cut.” When you decide, you cut off retreat. You look at your sales goal and see no acceptable outcome other than its achievement. That level of commitment changes how you show up every single day. The Six Steps to Achieve Any Goal (Chapter II) Next in this Chapter, Napoleon Hill outlines six steps designed to impress desire directly into the subconscious mind. Though written about money, (in the book) these steps apply to any goal, including sales. These are the steps I personally keep visible—and that leaders like American Businessman Grant Cardone practice daily. The Six Steps Write a clear description of what you want. You must know exactly where you're going. What is your sales goal? Decide what you're willing to give in return. There is no such thing as something for nothing. You will give up something of lower value to gain something greater. (I never understood this until I watched others with their achievements. Sometimes it's giving up time, or watching Netflix, or something like that. You give up something of a lower nature, to receive what it is that you want). Set a definite date. Desire without a timeline remains a wish. Create a clear action plan. Begin immediately—ready or not. Write the plan out in detail. Clarity strengthens commitment. Read it twice a day. As you read, see, feel, and believe yourself already in possession of the goal. (Chapter II, p. 23, TAGR) This sounds simple—but not easy. Most people won't do it consistently. That's why most people won't get these extraordinary results. Listener Takeaway Vague goals create vague results. Sales success begins the moment desire becomes: clear emotionally charged and non-negotiable Final Thought — Chapter II: Desire Desire is not motivation. It is not excitement. It is not ambition. Desire is commitment before evidence appears. When your desire is strong enough: hesitation disappears clarity sharpens certainty becomes visible And when certainty is visible, others respond to it. Sales does not reward the most talented. It rewards the most committed. Everything that follows in Think and Grow Rich rests on this foundation. If desire is weak, nothing else works. If desire is strong, the rest becomes possible. Chapter III: Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Core Idea: Faith is belief made visible through certainty. Sales Application: Why buyers borrow certainty from the salesperson Confidence vs arrogance How belief softens objections Listener Takeaway: Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you.   REVIEW OF CHAPTER III: FAITH How Do We Develop Faith? Napoleon Hill defines faith clearly and practically: “Faith is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmations or repeated instructions, through the principle of autosuggestion.” (Chapter III, p. 46, TAGR) Faith is not something you wait for. It is something you train. We develop faith by following the six steps outlined in Chapter 2 of Think and Grow Rich: writing our goals and reading them aloud every day—twice a day—until the idea moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind through autosuggestion. This is a process. If you have never read your goals out loud before, it may feel uncomfortable at first. When I started, I remember closing my office window, worried my neighbors might think I was crazy. In the beginning, the words can feel awkward and forced. But with repetition, something changes. Your words begin to flow more easily. Your tone becomes confident. And eventually, what once felt unnatural starts to feel true. Our goals begin living with and through us. Hill instructs us to read our goals: “As if you were already in possession of them.” (Chapter III, p. 48, TAGR) A simple way to do this is to begin with the statement: “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then state your goal clearly—whether it's a sales target or any other objective you are working toward.   Faith, Autosuggestion, and Something Bigger This is often the point where people bring their own beliefs into the process. If you believe—as I do—that there is something greater than yourself at work in the world, you will feel it here. Hill called it Infinite Intelligence. Others may call it God, Spirit, or Universal Intelligence. Hill wrote: “Faith is the element, the ‘chemical' which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.” (Chapter III, p. 49, TAGR) Regardless of what you call it, the experience is the same: faith grows when belief is repeatedly impressed upon the mind. And this is critical: We must have faith in our dreams, not in our doubts.   Faith Applied to Sales In sales, faith shows up as certainty. Buyers do not buy certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. This is where many people get confused. Faith is not arrogance. Arrogance is loud and brittle. Faith is calm, grounded, and steady. When you believe in: yourself the value you bring and the outcome you're guiding someone toward your certainty becomes transferable. And when certainty is present, objections soften. Not because you argue them away—but because belief replaces resistance. How Faith Becomes Unwavering To build unwavering faith, Hill's principles point us to three realities: You must move through the Terror Barrier of Fear. Faith grows when your conscious and non-conscious minds begin to align. Fear appears first—but it does not get the final word. Faith strengthens through repetition. Writing and repeating your goals daily through autosuggestion gradually reshapes belief. Faith grows fastest when focused on one clear idea. Pick one goal. Take action toward it. Each step builds self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-esteem. Over time, belief takes hold. One day, you'll look back at the early version of yourself—the one who hesitated, doubted, or felt unsure—and you'll realize how far you've come. I talk about this idea often. It's like adding red food color drops into a cup of water. In the beginning, it's hard to see any change in the color of the water. But over time, with persistent action, the glass of water eventually changes color. And you'll look back and be grateful you moved forward past fear. Listener Takeaway Buyers don't borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from you. Final Thought — Chapter III: Faith Faith is not pretending. It is not positive thinking. And it is not blind optimism. Faith is certainty trained through repetition. When belief becomes strong enough, it changes how you speak, how you act, and how others respond to you. Sales closed do not happen at the end of the conversation. They happen the moment certainty is felt. And certainty begins inside you. REVIEW OF CHAPTERS I–III The Foundation of Sales Mastery To review and conclude this special review of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, through the lens of a salesperson, we covered the first three chapters of Think and Grow Rich that form a complete inner foundation. Together, they explain why sales success begins long before tactics, scripts, or strategies ever matter. Before there is action, there is belief. Before belief, there is desire. And before desire, there is thought. Napoleon Hill does not begin this book with techniques. He begins with identity and inner alignment. For sales professionals, these chapters explain why results are not random—and why performance is always an inside-out process. Chapter I — The Power of Thought Why Sales Outcomes Begin in the Mind Chapter I introduces the central premise: Thought is creative. Through the story of Edwin C. Barnes, Hill shows us that success begins when a person decides what they want and holds that thought with unwavering persistence—long before evidence appears. Barnes did not hope to work with Thomas Edison. He decided it would happen. Despite having no money, no relationship, and no visible path, Barnes carried himself with such certainty that Edison felt it immediately. Edison did not respond to Barnes' circumstances—he responded to Barnes' state of mind. Sales Application: Sales performance reflects what you expect, not what you wish for. Your internal dialogue: sets your confidence level shapes your tone determines whether you lead or hesitate You don't get the sale you want. You get the sale you expect—the one you truly believe is possible. Chapter II — Desire From Wanting Sales to Demanding Results If thought sets direction, desire supplies the fuel. In Chapter II, Hill makes a critical distinction: Desire is not hope. It is not wishing. It is not motivation. True desire is emotionally charged, specific, and definite. Barnes' desire to work with Edison was not casual or negotiable. It was what Hill called a burning desire—so strong that Barnes was willing to stake his future on it. Sales Application: Desire determines behavior. When desire is vague: goals feel optional hesitation increases selling comes from need When desire is clear and emotionally anchored: confidence sharpens clarity replaces doubt certainty becomes visible Vague goals create vague results. Sales success accelerates the moment desire becomes non-negotiable. Chapter III — Faith Certainty Is the Real Close Chapter III explains how desire becomes believable: through faith. Hill defines faith not as blind belief, but as a trainable state of mind, developed through repetition and autosuggestion. Faith is belief made visible through certainty. By writing goals clearly and reading them aloud daily—as if already achieved—belief moves from the conscious mind into the non-conscious mind. Over time, certainty replaces doubt. Sales Application: Buyers do not borrow certainty from products. They borrow it from the salesperson. Faith shows up in sales as: calm confidence (not arrogance) steady tone authority without pressure When faith is present, objections soften—not because they're argued away, but because certainty dissolves resistance. How Chapters I–III Work Together These chapters are not separate ideas. They form a sequence: Thought sets direction Desire creates commitment Faith produces certainty Without thought, there is no aim. Without desire, there is no momentum. Without faith, there is no follow-through. Sales mastery begins here—not with what you say, but with who you are being when you say it. Final Integrated Insight (Chapters I–III) Sales does not reward effort alone. It rewards clarity, commitment, and certainty. When: your thoughts are aligned your desire is definite and your faith is trained your results begin to change—often before your strategy does. Because at the highest level, sales is not a transaction. It is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty. With gratitude to close out our review of Chapters 1-3 of Think and Grow Rich dedicated to the salesperson, we bring our credit to Paul Martinelli, who has helped me to understand not only the entire book, for our first review, but to now take this book, and apply it for success in the sales industry. I hope you have enjoyed this angle of this timeless book, and we will see you in a few days for PART 2 of this review, where we will cover the next 3 chapters of Think and Grow Rich.

The quiet moments we crave are often the ones we judge the most. In this episode, I explore the hidden pressure to “do more,” the discomfort that rises when we finally slow down, and the tender journey of learning to rest without guilt.

In this Season 14 review (Part 3) Andrea revisits key insights from Dr. Shane Creado on the critical link between sleep, concussions and performance. The episode explains how even mild or repeated head impacts and sleep deprivation damage the same brain regions that support learning, memory, decision-making and emotional regulation, and how one all‑nighter can reduce hippocampal learning capacity by around 40%. Practical takeaways include treating sleep as neurological recovery (7–9 hours), protecting the brain after head jolts, avoiding late alcohol and screens, and prioritizing consistent sleep routines to restore learning, resilience and long‑term brain health for athletes, students and professionals. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. As we are nearing the end of Season 14 here, it has been about reflection as we have looked back and reviewed past interviews. Our goal has not been about nostalgia, or remembering these interviews, the goal has been about integrating what we have learned. Taking what we know, aligning it with how the brain actually functions, and applying it consistently enough to change outcomes. And if there's one thing this season has reinforced, it's this: Sustainable success isn't built on intensity or focus alone—it's built on alignment. As we move into what's next, (Season 15) the focus shifts from understanding this alignment to bringing this alignment into a tangible, physical form, or embodiment. Not more information—but better execution. After hundreds of conversations with neuroscientists, educators, peak performers, and thought leaders, one truth keeps resurfacing— lasting success is never about doing more. It's about alignment. Alignment between how the brain actually works, how emotions drive behavior, and how daily habits compound over time. Season 14 has been about stepping back—not to reminisce, but to integrate what we have learned into our current life. I knew the minute that I was sent a couple of video clips from our past episodes, that I had forgotten about, that while I thought I had implemented the ideas from our past guests, I had some work to go myself. For this reason, we spent Season 14 and will resume with Season 15 next January, reviewing past episodes, with the goal of noticing what we have now aligned, that's bringing us results in our daily life. Core Reflection When we started this podcast 7 years ago, the goal was simple: bridge neuroscience research with practical strategies people could actually use. What I didn't fully appreciate then—what only became clear through repetition, reflection, and real-life application—is that information alone doesn't create change. Understanding the brain doesn't matter if we ignore what to do with the information we release each week: improving our sleep reducing our stress practicing emotional regulation with consistency that actually changes who we are at the core: our identity Season 14 has been about connecting those dots. Listening again to conversations with voices like Dr. John Medina, Dawson Church, Bob Proctor, Dr. John Ratey, Friederike Fabritius, and so many others, one pattern became impossible to ignore: The brain thrives on simplicity, repetition, and finding emotional safety to implement these concepts—not intensity or a quick fix. We will take the time with each interview review to offer ways for all of us to implement the lessons learned, so that when we finish 2026, we will be able to look back, and see where our changes all began. This week, we move onto PART 3 of our review of EP 72[i] with Shane Creado, MD and his book Peak Sleep Performance for Athletes recorded back in July of 2020. ✔ In PART 1[ii], we covered: How strategic napping, morning brain habits, and even the Silva Method all work together to reset your brain, boost performance, and transform your health from the inside out. ✔ In PART 2[iii] we continued with our review, diving a bit deeper into sleep deprivation and its impact of performance (whether you are an athlete, or just someone looking to improve productivity). ✔ PART 3, we will go a bit deeper into the impacts of concussions and brain injuries on our sleep and performance. Let's go back to 2020 and revisit what Dr. Creado had to say about sleep in this last episode of this season.   VIDEO 1 – Click Here to Watch   In the first clip of this episode, with Dr. Creado, he dives into the connection with concussions and sleep. He says, “Most people who have had a concussion end up with sleep problems. It makes a lot of sense when you think about the brain and how it regulates sleep and wakeful cycles and then it gets jarred. But what people don't realize is that even a mild head injury can really damage your brain. Even if you're not officially diagnosed with a concussion, you don't have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You don't even need to have any symptoms to have your brain injured in some way. And then the little injuries along the way add up over time. So the brain is as soft as butter and in a hard, bony skull. Anything that jars it, even whiplash can cause your brain to be injured. And it accumulates over time. What's interesting is that the same regions of the brain that are most damaged in head injuries are also damaged in sleep deprivation and also alcohol use. The frontal lobes, the temporal lobes and the parietal lobes at the top of the brain.”

I'm incredibly honored to sit down with Sharon Lechter — someone whose work has influenced tens of millions of entrepreneurs and investors around the world, including me personally. Sharon is an internationally recognized financial literacy expert, five-time New York Times bestselling author, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former CPA with over 35 years of experience. She co-authored Rich Dad Poor Dad and more than a dozen books in the Rich Dad series, advised two U.S. Presidents on financial literacy, and helped re-energize the teachings of Napoleon Hill through books like Three Feet from Gold, Outwitting the Devil, and Think and Grow Rich for Women. //CONNECT WITH SHARON Website: https://sharonlechter.com Email: info@sharonlechter.com LinkedIn: Sharon Lechter Instagram / Facebook / X: @SharonLechter In this conversation, Sharon and I go far beyond basic money talk. We discuss: - Why real estate is one of the fastest paths to wealth — and where investors get stuck - How to think about leverage, diversification, and risk at different stages of life - The difference between being "asset rich" and actually being wealthy - What happens after a liquidity event — and why many entrepreneurs struggle with it - How to raise kids around money without creating entitlement - Why legacy isn't about net worth, but impact, stewardship, and contribution Sharon also shares her personal success equation, how faith and fear shape financial decisions, and why true wealth includes your relationships, health, and ability to give back — not just your balance sheet. If you're a real estate investor, entrepreneur, or business owner who's already doing well but wants clarity on how to build something that lasts for generations, this episode will challenge how you think about money and success.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick continues his exploration of post-war American affluence. We often think of the 1950s as a golden age of middle-class expansion, where the old divisions of wealth and status melted away under a wave of chrome-plated cars and suburban lawns. But was this "classless society" a reality or a comforting myth?Drawing again from James Patterson's Grand Expectations, we delve into the changing nature of work and the rise of the white-collar economy. We examine how unions secured unprecedented benefits like health insurance and paid vacations, creating a unique moment where a steelworker could live a life of bourgeois comfort. Yet, beneath the surface, manual labour remained the backbone of the economy, and inequality persisted. Why did the US labour movement abandon the fight for universal healthcare in favour of employer-based benefits? And how did this decision shape the fragmented social safety net we see today?Key Topics:The Myth of the Classless Society: How affluence disguised, but didn't erase, social stratification.The Rise of Fringe Benefits: Why unions prioritized employer-based healthcare over state provision.Blue Collar vs. White Collar: The shifting demographics of the American workforce.The End of an Era: How financialization and offshoring eventually hollowed out the working-class dream.Books Mentioned:Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974 by James T.

Most Men Quit 3 Feet From Gold. Think and Grow Rich mindset, emotional pressure during the holidays, persistence for men, goal setting in December, how to stay motivated, success mindset, high value habits, quitting before the breakthrough, reprogramming habits, and pushing through resistance are all tied into one idea. Most men give up just before the win. In this stream, we dive into the real reason success does not happen. It is not lack of talent, opportunity, or time. It is mindset, habit, and a failure to persist under pressure. This conversation is built for men over 30 who know they are meant for more but feel like they have been stuck in place for too long. Especially around the holidays, it is easy to slow down, coast, and talk yourself out of greatness. Not this year.

There's a moment when the place you've dreamed about for years finally becomes the place you actually live—and everything you imagined begins to meet real life.In this episode, I share what it's truly like to move to Bali with a family, and the quiet disorientation that can come when a long-held dream becomes your everyday reality. It's an honest reflection on the space between expectation and experience, and what happens when “paradise” asks more of you than you anticipated.If you've ever dreamed of starting over somewhere new—or wondered what unfolds after you say yes to a big vision—this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and a grounded reminder that growth often comes wrapped in contrast.Where in your life are you being invited to release the fantasy and meet what's real?Related episodes to explore:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 167: Did I Manifest This?

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John welcomes back Steve Prendergast as a guest on today show. It was Steve who came up with a line that your subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest challenge in life. John and Steve bat that idea around. And John points out that the fact that a person is wired for survival is the biggest thing a person has to overcome. And he makes the analogy using higher forms of life coming to earth. If there was a higher life form that came to our planet and observed our planet, they would observed that human beings are wired for survival. And therefore they are fear-based and reactive.But in looking at modern society today, it looks like humans have a pretty cushy life. There's nothing threatening their survival on a daily basis. They all want to be successful and happy. But being fear-based and reactive is exactly the opposite of how they need to be in order to be productive and happy. These enlightened aliens would likely say -well let's just fix that and let's go into their DNA and reprogram them. We learned how to do that light years ago. The Takeaway from that story is that you can wait for enlightened beings to come to earth and reprogram you or you can take the responsibility for reprogramming yourself for success right now.John then goes on to make a key point. The methodology that he has created is an ACTUAL WAY OF DOING LIFE. NOT ANOTHER STRATEGY. But an actual way of doing life. It takes 12 minutes a day. And from what John can see in the success and human achievement field, nobody else is providing that. And from that way of doing life, which takes 12 minutes a day, you override being wired for survival. And you turn your subconscious mind from being your greatest nemesis into being your greatest asset. Giving yourself immense control over yourself.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Most people are sitting on a wealth-building asset they use every single day…but they've never learned how to activate it. That asset is your mouth. Your words—used the right way—can actually create wealth. And no, I'm not talking about manifesting, visualizing, or trying to “speak money into existence.” What I'm talking about is far more practical and far more powerful: the specific kinds of words you put out into the world determine the opportunities and income that come back to you. Right now I'm going to show you the three types of words that create wealth—and how to start using them today.

You're Not Weak, You're Just Programmed Wrong reveals why most men fail not from lack of effort, but from faulty subconscious programming rooted in years of fear, repetition, and outdated belief systems. This livestream draws directly from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and aligns it with the emotional intensity of the Christmas season to help men over 30 reset their internal code before 2026. If you have ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or like the life you want is just out of reach, it is not because you are lazy. It is because the mental software running your decisions was installed without your consent. We will talk autosuggestion, emotional repetition, faith, and how to retrain your subconscious with structure. Watch this before another December slips by.

There's a quiet kind of courage in letting yourself enjoy something simple, without guilt, without earning it first. In this episode, I share how one small daily ritual is helping me soften my nervous system, shift out of restriction, and invite more ease, pleasure, and presence into my mornings. We explore how tiny, intentional practices can become powerful tools for anxiety, burnout, and self-judgment—without needing hours of self-care or a big life overhaul. If you've been delaying joy until you “deserve it,” this conversation will feel like a gentle permission slip back to yourself.Reflection for you: What is one tiny daily pleasure you could allow yourself—fully, and without explanation—starting today?Related episodes to explore:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 156: The Healing Power of Nature for Your Mind & Soul - https://youtu.be/O6ATd2dPHyE• 152: What If You Didn't Have to Push Anymore? - https://youtu.be/i9FKwBd-gmc

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly share their observations on creating success in your career. John mentions that he started out as a CPA and became an entrepreneur when he was 30. Then he was in seven different businesses in his 30s and 40s. But in retrospect, he sees that he was not connected to any of them emotionally. Then when he turned 50, he got in the reverse mortgage business. A business he was, in fact, emotionally connected to. Because he had seen how investment advisors had tried to coerce his mom into various investments after is dad had died at John's age of 24. He saw that those investment advisors didn't have his mom's best interest at heart. So when he got into the reverse mortgage business, he was committed to treating all his customers like his own parents. So that was the emotional connection.And the big Takeaway is that whatever business or industry you are in, you need to be passionate about it. You need to be emotionally connected to it in order for you to thrive long-term. John then gets into more detail about what took his income, when he was in his mid-50s, to 25 times the $200,000 – $300,000 a year he making the prior 20 years. He saw that he was doing three high-performance skills he never was doing before. He was highly organized. Planning is day the night before and time blocking is days. He was deep thinking two times a week. Tuning into reality. Growing every week from experts in areas that he needed in order to be successful as an entrepreneur. Primarily in marketing.Then John saw that through the think it be it methodology he was feeding himself six key things every day. His business plan, his strategy for success, the two or three things that move the needle, where he wanted the business to be three years from now, the 4-5 milestones to get there, and the linchpin issue to go to the next level. From feeding those six things to himself every day, he continually refined his understanding of those key components every day. So it was that combination of doing those three high-performance skills coupled with a continually evolving deeper understanding of his business that caused his income to go up by 25 times. And lastly, John talks about if you're an employee, you are, in fact, really an entrepreneur. The same concepts apply. Your career is your business.

Your Energy Is Killing Your Dating Life. Why? Because men confuse being calm with being attractive. If you are over 30, recently divorced, or struggling in dating or marriage, it is likely you are killing your chances without even realizing it. You can be anything to a woman, funny, serious, loud, quiet, but you cannot be boring. This stream unpacks why your energy, presence, and animation matter far more than your perfect behavior. Rooted in the Think and Grow Rich principle of emotionalized desire and applied through the lens of attraction and modern dating, you will see why chemistry dies quietly and how to bring your aliveness back.

In this powerful episode of the Generational Wisdom Series, the conversation turns toward the future through the lens of Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. Carl welcomes Mike DiCioccio, a Millennial voice and the show's producer, along with guests Dr. David and Katie Barry, Nick Stanton, and Luisa Pastorek, to explore how younger generations are being shaped by digital life, global uncertainty, and rapid cultural change.

This episode highlights the distinct identity of younger generations while emphasizing the timeless values that continue to bind society together. Mike reflects on his personal journey through the evolution of tech, social media, and podcasts, and shares how the music and pop culture of previous generations have greatly influenced him. Joining the conversation, fellow Millennials Dr. David and Katie discuss the enduring importance of faith and family, values that remain deeply rooted in many younger people today. Gen Z guest Nick speaks to the challenges and anxieties of growing up in a polarized, tech-saturated world, urging responsibility, research-based thinking, and caution against overdependence on AI.

It is your desire. In this livestream, we break down how your financial situation in December reflects how committed you have been all year. Inspired by Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, this episode will call out the distractions, excuses, and soft thinking keeping you stuck. Most men coast through the holidays. But the men who define specific financial goals now, while others retreat, enter the new year with a fire others cannot fake. You will learn how to turn vague dreams into definite targets, use seasonal emotion as fuel, and shift from passive wishing to intentional creation. If you are ready to end the cycle, this stream is your starting point.

In today's episode, I break down how the timeless principles of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich translate into a modern playbook for building real wealth. I share why wealth is created twice, first in your mind and then in the marketplace, and how definiteness of purpose, faith, and specialized knowledge shape that journey. I walk through my ten lessons of wealth, from imagination and organized planning to masterminds, decisive action, and persistent behavior that carries you through resistance and fear. Finally, I explain why money without meaning is malnutrition and how true wealth is the freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want.

Sometimes it takes a single moment to see yourself through a softer lens. In this episode, I share an experience that shifted how I relate to my imperfections and why a Japanese philosophy helped me reinterpret a scar I used to hide. If you've ever felt “not enough,” this gentle reflection invites you into a new way of seeing your own story, your healing, and the beauty woven into your cracks.Where in your life are you being called to see yourself with more compassion?Related episodes to explore:•⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠167: Did I Manifest This?

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly share a startling observation. In American society today, no one is taught an actual way to create success in life. And people have two problems. First they conceptually can't articulate how they create success. And secondly, they don't have an actual way to do it if they could articulate it. But of course the think it be it 12 minute day technique is how one creates success. As John points out, when someone ask him how do you create success in your life he's crystal-clear about it. My success comes down to my daily actions. 95% my daily actions are unconscious. And since they are unconscious, that means my conscious mind intelligence and intellect is not directing the vast majority of my daily actions. Yet those daily actions are the very thing that determines my success. So I fix that by gaining control over those unconscious daily actions. And making more of my daily actions conscious rather than unconscious. John goes on to say that actually creating success is conceptually very simple. You create immense clarity about your life. Exactly the person you want to be, what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you're going to achieve your clearly defined goals. You then feed that to yourself each day. Takes 12 Mensa day. Then after 21 days, the right actions happen automatically. Those upgraded daily actions then create the life you desire. Profoundly simple. This works whether you're 16 or 60. The science behind this is compelling and the credibility is compelling. You're applying the central concept of the top book in the world on success to your life. A book that's been read by over 150 million people. And this 12 minute a day methodology has been vetted at one the top five business schools in the country. But few are aware of this because there's so much clutter in the world.

After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine.

If you're feeling pressure to “be grateful” this week, this episode offers a different kind of Thanksgiving message — one that looks at gratitude beyond the holiday scripts, the perfect tables, or the forced positivity. Living in Bali has shifted how I experience gratitude in ways that are quieter, more honest, and sometimes completely unexpected. From small daily rituals to moments that surprised me during a parent talk at Green School, I share what gratitude feels like when life is messy, changing, or nothing like the polished version we're shown. If your Thanksgiving looks different this year, or if gratitude feels complicated, this reflection might be exactly what you need.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly introduce an interesting idea. You are two people in one. There is the do'er you and there is the observer you. John points out that this is a powerful way to look at your life from a 30,000 foot view. And it is particularly appropriate for someone doing the think it be it 12 minute a day methodology. That's the case because the observer you took the life GPS template and with the conscious mind created your desired life. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you're going to achieve your clearly defined goals. Again, all conscious mind involving the observer you.Then for 12 minutes a day, when you read your life GPS template, you got everybody on the team together at the same time. The life GPS template is instructing the doer side of you on exactly what you want done. Giving all the specifics. But while you are reading your life GPS template, the observer you is also evaluating it. Deciding if there's any tweaks to it. And factoring in that the observer you actually created the life GPS template and customized it to your unique life. When you really think about this idea it really puts your life in perspective. And more than anything else, at the end of that you're really an observer of your life. When we talk about who YOU are, you're really the observer of your life.

In this episode, I explain why presence is one of the greatest skills we can build — not just to lead, but to serve. Drawing on the wisdom of Think and Grow Rich, I share how our mindset and energy shape a room before we ever speak. I cover the simple practices that help us guide any environment: leading with intention, winning the first moments, asking meaningful questions, staying centered through breath, and communicating with clarity. Most of all, I highlight that leadership isn't about control — it's about creating the right setting for others to succeed. When we show up with certainty, kindness, and alignment, we raise the room, and with it, the opportunities available to everyone.

What if death wasn't something to fear — but a doorway to freedom? In Bali, I witnessed something that completely shifted how I see loss, grief, and letting go.There was no sorrow, no heaviness — only color, laughter, and music. It was unlike anything I'd ever seen, and it made me question everything I thought I knew about death.Maybe letting go isn't an ending after all… maybe it's something more.If this message speaks to you, please share it with a friend or someone navigating grief — it might bring them peace.

Ever had a random thought come true hours later? In Bali, one playful idea turned into real-life proof that the universe is always listening — and it made me rethink how powerful our thoughts really are.Have you ever felt like life was sending you a wink? This story is a reminder that synchronicities aren't coincidences; they're signs we're aligned, connected, and being guided in ways we can't always explain.Maybe the universe is speaking to you too… are you paying attention?

Some people choose entertainment during their commute or workouts. Some people choose to memorize concepts that transform their lives. This subtle shift in how we use our "bored" time can create extraordinary results over decades. In this final part of the Weekly series, I'm sharing the philosophy that drove my success: the power of ingraining life-changing concepts through repetitive listening. After 35 years of choosing coaching over music, self-help over entertainment, I've discovered that transformation happens not just through understanding ideas intellectually, but through hearing them applied over and over until they become part of your mental operating system. The Weekly offers you this same opportunity - 52 hours of live coaching application throughout 2026. You can sign up right now by going to TheLifeCoachSchool.com/theweekly. What You Will Discover: Why ingraining concepts through repetitive listening creates more lasting change than one-time learning. How to create your own mental "board of directors" using the wisdom of teachers you've studied. The critical difference between intellectual understanding and applied mastery of coaching tools. Why "I don't know" and "maybe" are dream stealers that keep you stuck in misery. How to evaluate worst-case scenarios from both your primitive brain and prefrontal cortex.
